This patch should apply cleanly to the 2.6.23-git7 kernel. It changes the
powernow-k8 driver code that deals with 3rd generation Opteron, Phenom,
and later processors to match the architectural pstate driver described
in the AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2 Chapter 18. The
initial implementation of the hardware pstate driver for PowerNow!
used some processor-version specific features, and would not be
maintainable in the long term as the processor features changed.
This architectural driver should work on all future AMD processors.

This is from an earlier message from 'Christoph Lameter':
cpu_core_map is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that
we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpu.
If we put the cpu_core_map into the per cpu area then it will be allocated
for each processor as it comes online.
This means that the core map cannot be accessed until the per cpu area
has been allocated. Xen does a weird thing here looping over all processors
and zeroing the masks that are not yet allocated and that will be zeroed
when they are allocated. I commented the code out.
